Abstract:
This paper utilizes historical-critical analysis to elucidate the ancient institution of levirate marriage, a type of marital union attested in Assyria, Ugarit, Hatti, ancient Israel, and beyond. It investigates the socio-cultural logic underlying levirate practices as well as their ramifications upon communal dynamics. Through examination of biblical episodes concerning Judah and Tamar along with Boaz and Ruth, two illuminating case studies emerge that reveal the complex interplay of kinship ties, lineage preservation, inheritance rights, and evolving cultural mores governing this marital cus

AbstractThe article examines the approach of leading rabbis toward levirate marriages following the establishment of the State of Israel. Chief Ashkenazi Rabbi Herzog supported the abolishment of levirate marriages and attempted to impose on all ethnic communities the Ashkenazi approach, which since the 13th century favoredchalitza. Chief Sephardic Rabbi Uziel supported rabbi Herzog although the levirate commandment takes precedence overchalitzain the Sephardic and oriental traditions and is practiced in these communities. In 1950, the two Chief Rabbis led a council of rabbis that enacted a re

Abstract:
The levirate marriage has been continued for thousands of years in the ancient time of China until after the People's Republic when it died out. In Yuan Dynasty, the levirate marriage was gradually ascended to state law from national habits; its position was so important that it was considered as the customs of the country, later it gradually moved towards collapse. The variation of laws as well as regulations for the levirate marriage reflect the process of which the two cultures of the Mongolian people and Han people blended continuously.

Focusing on the biblical institution of levirate marriage, this article offers a paradigm that elucidates how Christians might have adopted, adapted, and sometimes rejected their legal heritage; it may illuminate the overall devel

Abstract:
The practice of levirate marriage describes cases where, under the customary conception of marriage, a male relative of the deceased husband ‘inherits’ or ‘takes over’ his widow. Based on the concept of legal pluralism, the paper analyses different notions of marriage in customary law and statutory law. Within this legal framework the collective character of marriage under customary law and the assumption that the alliance entered by two kin groups is not dissolved by the death of one spouse function as central preliminaries for the levirate marriage.

Throughout this study, traditionalists oppose westernised Africans because of strange norms and practices they have adopted.

Abstract The third kind of dependent woman in the mishnaic system is the levirate widow. When a woman’s husband dies without male issue, Scripture re quires her to marry her husband’s brother in the hope that the union will produce a surrogate son and heir to the dead brother, so that his name “may not be blotted out in Israel” (Deut. 25:6). This consideration is so compel ling as to override Scripture’s explicit directive forbidding a man in normal circumstances to marry his brother’s widow (Lev. 18:16).159 Like the minor daughter and the wife, then, the levirate widow is defined by her relat
